I decided to download the 30 days trial version of Lightroom to give it a test drive, and I have been very positively surprised of how good not only the organization aspect of it is, but how much flexibility it adds with the localized adjustments, graduated filters, presets, etc. Even the printing options with its pre-programmed sharpening allowed me to process my pictures and send to print quicker than any other option I have tried before. I tested it and ended up with some great looking 30x45 prints. I see Lightroom as a great tool for photographers, that easies the work while providing almost all the functionalities needed in one common place. Of course it would be great to win the contest and therefore the giveaway.

As a wedding photographer it saves me a lot of time. Now I think that I only have to run 10 % of my pictures through Photoshop.

Thanks for getting my questions in. I'm not very satisfied with Tom's answers, but I really appreciate you asking and him answering. For both of my questions it kind of felt like he copped out with an "our users are idiots" excuse for some of the decisions they made (eg. not allowing the user to relocate their panels, and to changing the collections system from simple nested collections). That's probably a bit harsh, but it definitely came across as if they have made a deliberate decision to keep the program as simple as possible in order to prevent the users from getting lost or confused, even though that prevents more capable users from having the control they want. I really hope he is right that some of these changes are only (painful) steps toward a greater goal. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work! Great show guys.

Then doing simple RAW development with freeware or camera vendor's tool one by one until all are done. In the end I choose some kind of "best of" and do a more detailed retouching (actually) in Corel Paintshop Pro Photo X2. With "Adobe Lightroom 2" I could do all that in one application and even copy the most useful settings from one photo to all others.

Moving from one program to another, just to do the smallest of tasks is a real pain and having a package that has this (and more) in the same software would drastically improve the way I work. I've tried the demo versions but have not got around to getting the full version yet. I really love the great new features in v2, especially the Adjustment Brush. I think with all the new functions I would spend about 80% of my workflow just in Lightroom. Not only would this reduce my processing time but it would mean that I'm spending less time at the computer and have more time for shooting!

Can do most of my photo work without needing to go into a photo editor, manage my photographs, print, export, upload... The list goes on! Would love to have a copy to use long term.

I also like the look of the intuitive develop functions. Hope to win the giveaway. My workflow is a mess right now, and it sounds like Lightroom would be great for organizing my workflow.

It's powerful enough to handle my post production work, and really shines with RAW conversion. I don't think I could have gone from photography enthusiast to professional artist without it.

Aside from the way it keeps photos organized, it's the easiest raw converter I've used. I love playing with all the presets that are available, too. I haven't bought software yet for processing my raw images because of the cost, I've been using one free trial after another. I’m currently using the free trial of Lightroom and I’m hooked.
